Poker Rooms

[Farcry]

I play poker and the tables and rooms are strictly smoke free everywhere.
I asked permission and it was granted to vape at The Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, FL. I also asked all the players at the table if they didn't mind. No one did and several were very interested. There were 3 other smokers at that table and the dealer too. All 4 said they were going to purchase the e-cig when they got home. It was a good experience. The non-smokers said they were impressed that there was hardly any smell and the lady next to me said what she smelled was nice. I was vaping Watermellon flavor.
At the Greyhound track in Naples/Bonita I was told that it was ok to vape in the building (it is smoke free inside there), but not ok to vape at the table. The manager was worried that it might distract the other players. I was ok with that and just stepped away from the table when I wanted to vape.

That is very cool of them to let you vape at the table while playing! I thought about bringing my 510 with me to my local club and play some hold 'em; see what they say . Perhaps I too can get a few people to switch from analog to digital .

It never hurts to ask. If they say no, I'm ok with that. I've been going outside for years to smoke anyway.

This is why I can't believe Jersey went and did that stupid public ban. I played in wsop in atlantic city earlier this year before the ban. I cannot imagine going back and not being able to smoke. They must allow vaping at least. I don't get it.

I completely get it.... people refuse to accept change. People assume if it looks like a cigarette than it has to be one! Vapor? No that looks like smoke!

These are the kind of people that really get on my nerves because they don't want to be open-minded and just assume we're cheating out way to smoking.

Well being Vegas I'm not surprised that they weren't ok with it.

I love your idea of calling it a medical vaporizer, they can't say much on that can they?

 

[Farcry]

I wouldn't feel right calling it "medical". Why lie about it? Calling it "medical" is no better than those non-smokers who claim "allergic" because they don't like the smell.
I prefer "nicotine delivery device".

I tried this in a WSOP Circuit event this weekend n Atlantic City with my Xhaler and one guy didnt like it so I just put it away...I did get permision from John who runs all the Circuit Events across the country but since it did bother one guy I didnt push it...I must of gave out over 30 cards...I also had a Greencig with me that I stealth vaped for a while and didnt have any problems with it...

Yes, you can be allergic to regular smoke. My boyfriend is highly allergic which is one of the reasons that I'm switching to analogs. His throat closes up and he breaks out in hives if he's too close to someone smoking. I don't know if its something in the cigarette that causes it or just smoke in general though. Also, a friend of mine is so allergic that she can't be in a house where smoking is permitted even if no one is smoking at the time. The residue that sticks to the furniture gives her some kind of rash on her skin.

However, I do get annoyed by people who claim to have an allergy when they simply dislike smoke. Its not fair to the people who have legitimate allergies who are not taken as seriously because of such liars.

Sorry to double post, but I meant he is one of the reasons I'm switching to e-cigs and quitting analogs. lol

Glad that was a slip-up Ea87. lol

Sweet! I work at the Hard Rock in Tampa! I don't know what our poker room policy is, but I've only ever seen two Blackjack players using the e-cig. I started a trend with employees, though...there's like 6 of us dealers that use em now! One of my Shift Mgrs and Security have said I could vape in the EDR instead of having to go outside. Which is nice, because it's like...30 degrees here. Bleh.
